Samsung TL320 vs Sony A7c Sensor Comparison

To sum up, both of the cameras posses different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The TL320 featuring a smaller sensor is going to make shooting shallow depth of field more challenging and the Sony A7c will render more detail as a result of its extra 12 Megapixels. Greater resolution will enable you to crop photos somewhat more aggressively. The more aged TL320 will be behind when it comes to sensor tech.
